IN THIS POST: Everything you need to make a Healthy Strawberry Smoothie

Ingredients for this recipe

• almond milk – any non-dairy milk
• hemp seeds – this gives the smoothie a creamy texture
• strawberries – frozen strawberries work best for frothy smoothies – many are frozen from fresh strawberries
• vanilla
• maple syrup – this lends a bit of added sweetness
• ice cubes

You may notice that there is no yogurt or ice cream in this recipe. Using plain yogurt, greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt is pretty common and I have lots of smoothie recipes that use them like this Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie. For this recipe though, we are making a healthy strawberry smoothie without yogurt so if you are vegan or avoiding dairy this one is for you.

How to make this recipe

Add the ingredients to a blender in the order they listed – meaning put the liquid in first. This helps the blending process go much smoother. Blend until creamy and frothy and serve chilled.

FAQ’S, Tips + Substitutions

• Are strawberry smoothies healthy? Using healthy ingredients means a healthy smoothie!
• TIP! Add the liquid to the blender first and the berries last. Everything blends together easier with the liquid at the bottom.
• For flavor variations, you can use different frozen fruit like mango or pineapple or add a variety of berries like blueberries or raspberries.
• Substitute honey for the maple syrup as a natural sweetener, just remember that it is no longer considered vegan.
• Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green smoothie variation
• Any milk will work! Other plant-based options include coconut milk or hemp milk.
• Blend in a scoop of chocolate protein powder for a chocolate strawberry taste.
